Although only a small percentage of our genome consists of protein coding genes, the majority of the genome is transcriptionally active, resulting in significant quantities of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts. We are studying the co-transcriptional recruitment of RNA binding complexes to the nascent transcripts.
